FAST Discovers Two Long-Period Pulsars in the Globular Cluster M15
Researchers from the Zhejiang lab and NAOC, using FAST, have discovered two long-period pulsars in the globular cluster M15. This discovery not only sets a new record for the rotation period of pulsars in globular clusters but also identifies another branch in the evolutionary classification of globular cluster populations, confirming the diversity of their evolution. The research paper was published online this April, in "SCIENCE CHINA Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy".
